The art and antique scene has changed and expanded considerably recently. Several artisans have opened their studios to the public, others have opened a walk-in gallery for the first time. Still others are showing their art in restaurants, cafes and wine tasting rooms. Although most of them are still in Carmel Valley Village, several can be found on the way up there, at the Mid Valley Shopping Center and the Farm Center. Several antique and gift stores can also be found throughout Carmel Valley. None of these should be missed if you are a serious collector of art and antiques. We definetely recommend that you spend a couple of days reacquainting yourself with the Carmel Valley scene. Chances are that even while stopping to taste some of Carmel Valley's fine wines, making a snack stop, or sitting down for lunch or dinner at one of our fine restaurants, you will be tempted buy some of the art objects displayed around you. Truly!
